Hex-A-Gone – Jan. 11, 2018

Posted on January 17, 2018  in Game Jam

Hex-A-Gone is part hex based matching game and part side scrolling autonomous dungeon crawler. Our focus was on the hex based matching game part that will allow for collection of resources for the eventual crafting mechanic of the game.

Here was our retrospective from that day:

What we can do better:

  • Pizza never got ordered. So need to make doubly sure that happens the day of the event.
  • The task list was minimal initially so we had to spend extra time coming up with what to work on. Encourage each Project Owner coming in to prepare at least a design doc about their project.
  • We could always have more abstraction on separate objects earlier on in development to help avoid everyone working on the same file all day 🙂

What went well:

  • New location is still really nice. Thank you Utah Open Source!
  • We had all returning attendees, ramp up time was fast!
  • The game was well-prepared ahead of time.
  • Great collaboration between team members.
  • We had higher level architecture in mind during the process
